Blind stitching is easy, especially if you use the patented super secret tom mosher blind stitch easy-i-fier.

I got the stitch all the way method all tangled and it made me feel stupid and like I was trying to be cheap and cut corners. Even without my fancy way of blind stitching it's still really ...

Thats pretty cool, how does it play?

Whoa! Those pents look huge! Is that only because the camera? Or are the pents really that big?

nice bags brian (of course) no chix anymore ? :( that picture was me. and the reason it was me in the pic was because i made him that bag. he made the bags in the most recent pic. no one seemed to comment on the bag i made him

We were all to busy looking at you to notice the footbag in your hand ...

Hey guys I'm finally home!!! :) I am a bit tired (jet lag) but other wise I am okay. I ended up missing my flight to Indianapolis, so we got to stay at a hotel (Yeah!) Sorry I couldn't come and shred with you guys, mabye next time I miss a flight in Chicago... :roll:

I will be posting my bags up ...

Hey Toby, I haven't seen any of your bags recently. You pwnd the thread earlier, what happened? Did you stop stitching? :cry:

Lol, cheers. I still stitch, i just didn't have an internet connection untill recently. I think i will post a pic of a bag tomorrow.

Yeah!!! :D It was honestly your bags ...

Hey Toby, I haven't seen any of your bags recently. You pwnd the thread earlier, what happened? Did you stop stitching?

As far as I know, plated lead shot, (weather its nickel or copper plated) usually flakes off after a while. The flakes are sharp, and I have heard that they pucture the bag. I dont know, I have just heard all this...

Here is another thread that discusses break in techniques... somewhere in there. >Bam<

Is that like an Emeril BAM?

Sorry, I ment Amatista. Hmmmm... I have to make a bag using willow and a green color and see how it turns out.

Very nice bag, but is that really willow? Because I used willow in my amista/willow bag, and it looked really yellow, but your willow is very green. Does anybody else see that, or am I the only crazy one???

I have those stitching urges too, I stayed up until 3 one night stitching. Follow your urges, STITCH!!!

I already have, but she is convinced that she will never become a good "hacker." But I have managed to make her use the words footbag, footbagging, shred, and shreading instead of hacky sack, hacky sacking, and hack. So its a start...

My latest bag, (#3)

My gather isnt as consistent as I would like, but I am getting better.

This bag is going out to my friend, Becky. Although she doesnt shred, when she saw my other bag she said, "Awwwww, its so cute!" So ...

I tried to make a bag in one sitting, but I got REALLY bored, so I played my PSP. After I make this bag, I am planning to make one more bag, (for my self), and after that bag I will be willing to trade. So my 5th bag will be going out to somebody.....How about you Mowley?

Actually, I really dont know exactly how long it takes me. Hmmmm...

1/2-1 Hr, making panels/cutting them out.
2-4 Hr, Sewing the bag.
1/2-1, Finishing the bag.

So all in all, it takes mabye 4-7 hours, and I usually spread it over 3-5 days. What about other stichers

I dont think that my gather was completely consistant, but I am not complaining. I am working on another bag right now...





Any predictions?

Here is my latest bag. (Number 2)



I finally got the size right. Here are some more pics. (Start Drooling...)





Just wait until I get really good...

So I have been doing it right, thats a relief, but I still have two questions...

1. Is there supposed to be no audio?

2. Are you Dat Phan the comedian?

Thanks for responding to this thread Tom. I honestly appreciate your input as a major stitcher in the modified community. I based my stitching philosophies around a model that I found last summer in Lonn Irish's bags. I decided along with others beside me that her bags were the best of any stitcher ...
